Order Calculation

If item is on sale, does Taobao FOCUS buy it at regular price or a discount price will be applied? If discount, when price will be adjusted?
All items are purchased at the price that is listed on taobao.com. If at the moment of purchasing item is on sale (at discount price), the purchase will be made following discount price and price adjustment will be made in your order before the arrival of items at our warehouse. Since our purchasers have many items to buy, sometimes they don’t have time to discuss price with sellers; in this case, if you see discount information, please write the discount price in your item comment, so your purchaser will buy it if the discount is still there and cancel if no more discount.
Following the latest updates in order system, if you add an item which is on sale, Taobao FOCUS order system automatically calculates a discount price. If at the moment of purchasing, item price is higher than indicated in your order, then this item will be automatically canceled.

For DHL, if your city is in their remote area list (http://remoteareas.dhl.com/jsp/first.jsp), there will be additional DHL remote area fee.

What is the weight of the item?
We cannot tell the weight of the item before it arrives and we weigh it in our warehouse. You should estimate item weight on your own before placing your order. For bulky or heavy items, if the seller provides the weight, we let you know, so you can consider if to buy it or not.

All prices are in Chinese yuan (RMB). Delivery by Air Mail is available nearly to all countries, thus, if you do not see your country in the EMS or DHL list, then you should check the list of countries for shipping by Air Mail.

What is “price difference” in my order?
Price difference in the first payment is added when the cost of shipping within China is more than 15 yuan. It happens when the item is heavy or the seller’s location is very far from our warehouse or the seller can use only one delivery service, which is more expensive than other delivery companies.
Price adjustment in the second payment is for the cases when there is a refund for returned items, and when there are additional fees like our handling fee for additional photos, return / exchange of items, etc, or return/exchange domestic shipping fee.
